Abstract

This chapter discusses ionic interactions. It focuses on the interaction between ions in solid materials. The chapter notes the usage of X–ray diffraction to measure the distance between ions in the lattice while referencing a lattice diagram of NaCl. It explains the force between oppositely charged objects attracted to one another. This is called electrostatic interaction. Additionally, the chapter explains the process and equations used in the formation of ion pairs and lattice. It refers to the Born–Landé equation as an expression for the energy of interaction between the ions in a crystal lattice. The chapter also mentions the Kapustinskii equation before exploring the application of other equations dealt with in the chapter.
